 Single And Album Reviews In Old Magazines
Hopefully this will be an interesting thread As the title says, post single and album reviews from old magazines and lets see if history has proved that reviewers knew absolutely nothing about the music they were writing about To start with... Steve Bush reviews the new single releases in Smash Hits from August 1979  Hmmm - it might die a death tho. Possibly too small to read on the computer screen nosferatu42 likes this.

Deanne Pearson gets it completely wrong when she reviews Bowie's 'Ashes To Ashes' in Smash Hits from August 1980  Luckily, there is an isolated picture of this review, which makes it easier to read  nosferatu42 likes this.

Marc Almond reviews the singles in Record Mirror from 1984, and it's interesting to note that his 'Record Of The Week' is 'Here We Go Rock And Roll' from the hard rock band Spider  nosferatu42 likes this.

Sian Pattenden reviews the new ABBA single in Smash Hits in 1992, and shows the abject racism / wacky sense of humour that readers of the magazine loved   By this time, tho, I had got sick of their juvenile remarks and had stopped buying the publication many years previously! nosferatu42 likes this.

I saved loads of album reviews over the years from magazines before i got rid of them dating back to the mid eighties. Here's one of Christopher Lee's Charlemagne album from Metal Hammer in 2010.

Kerrang! thought Aerosmith's Permanent Vacation was pretty decent back in 1987.   Susan Foreman likes this. |

I also remember 'Harry Headbanger' (in reality Mark Putterford, who loathed thrash and loved bands like It Bites) giving 'Doomsday For The Deceiver' by Flotsam And Jetsam a 6K (out of 5K) review

Following an eight year gap AC/DC returned in 2008 with their best album since Back in Black in 1980. The triumphant Black Ice. Here's what Metal Hammer's Malcolm Dome thought of it.  Susan Foreman and nosferatu42 like this. |
